Pro Day: Nick Bolton

[Cowboyny]

I think he falls to the second round now. A short linebacker needs to be able to cover.

For me, he is a very hard player to pass on at 44. Yes, he has athletic limitations, but his tape is very good. He is more of a football player then an athlete.

Can they test for instincts because from what I read his instincts are off the chart.

He probably has the best instincts of any linebacker in this class. He is the example of a football player over an athlete.

I never was impressed with his speed. I always thought Bolton was anti Parsons in a bad way. I don’t think Bolton is in the same league as Parsons and those YouTuber draftnicks lost me on having Bolton rated so high.

I have questions about Parsons in coverage as well. Reason why many like Bolton is his mental processing, he is able to read and react quickly.

Could be, but it’s hard to overcome both size AND athleticism limitations.

I can’t take him until the 4th.

No, I get it. Especially now with Neil on our roster, we cannot have run defenders who struggle in coverage.

That is what I am getting at. He is a football player.

A LB that can’t cover? He’s a perfect fit

He was good in coverage in college.
